Eggnog Waffle Cookies

We love cookies, and we love waffles, which makes these cookies the best of both worlds! Sprinkle with powdered sugar for a frosted festive food gift your friends and family are bound to love.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
2 eggs
1/2 cup eggnog
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
1 tbsp powdered sugar for dusting

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium mixing bowl. In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, eggnog and melted butter. Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet to form a sticky dough.
  2. Heat waffle griddle to medium-high heat. Grease waffle griddle with cooking spray. Using a small ice cream scoop or cookie scoop, place1 tablespoon scoops of dough in the center of each section of griddle and close lid. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Gently remove cookies with a spatula and place on a wire cooling rack. Repeat with remaining dough.
  3. Once cookies are cooled to room temperature, dust with powdered sugar and serve.
